I have always loved to write, but have never written that "best seller list" novel (maybe someday).  A few of my short stories have been published, but I realized I could publish anything I wanted on the web!  I designed my first site back in 1998 and never stopped designing. Since then I have worked for a number of companies where I could do what I love, graphic design, web design, photography and writing. I have been freelancing for over ten years, and several of my clients that have been using my services since I first hung my shingle.

I work closely with my clients and pay attention to preparatory work. I focus on the marketing needs of my clients and guide them through the process from beginning to end.  Not only do we work together on strategies and tactic to help accelerate the growth of their business, but we concentrate on the client experience in all phases of their marketing plan.  I possess strong communication skills and I believe that the ability to conceptualize ideas is as important as the professionalism of a designer. I have a keen eye for color as well as design and layout. I strive to keep up with the industry and to ensure that any project I take on will be better than the last.

I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suites 5 which include Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator, InDesign and Dreamweaver.  I am proficient with MS Office 2007, specifically Word, PowerPoint and Outlook.  I have created a large number of email marketing campaigns and templates for my clients. I have experience with product photography as well as general photography for publications and web design.  I enjoy photo journalism as well as digital scrapbooking.  I have created several photo books that my clients have all raved about.  I have strong project management experience and work around my clients deadlines.
